Enables us to prioritize and effectively address critical security issues

Evidence-based reporting helps us to prioritize and solve critical security issues. The new visualization feature demonstrates how an attacker can enter the system, highlighting the potential path that can be exploited and outlining all the steps the attacker could take. With that visibility, we can ensure the perimeter is strong and attackers cannot enter, thus reducing the risk. It has helped us prioritize issues. The visibility into how an attack could happen is valuable. For example, it highlights the system vulnerability and outlines where an attack could propagate. The visualization helps me to prioritize remediation, and if I don't know where to start, I can check to see the score that enables me to prioritize issues. I am using infrastructure-as-code scanning, and it's one of the useful features. In pre-production, it identifies embedded secrets and misconfigurations, including issues with Kubernetes or some privileged containers. This feature allows us to pass the audit and secure IaC code so that it isn't easily exploitable by attackers. We can more proactively work to identify and resolve vulnerabilities by using the dashboard and the alerting system that SentinelOne provides. It helps us with audits and compliance. We can show the compliance in percentage. We can confidently say that our company or infrastructure is very secure. It has improved our security posture by 30% to 35%. It has reduced our false positives by 30%. It has helped teams collaborate better. The security team manages SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and when it flags vulnerabilities, they are forwarded to DevOps for remediation. Previously, we needed to identify and report the issues, but there would be lapses in communication. Now, there is a centralized dashboard that anyone can look at and see the open issues and work on them.

Business Development Manager at Axoft Ukraine

A robust and cost-effective solution, excelling in scalability, on-premises support, and responsive technical support, making it well-suited for enterprises navigating stringent regulatory environment

The most crucial aspect is runtime protection, specifically image scanning before preproduction and deployment. Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment. This feature ensures that customers can identify any potential issues with the image, such as misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, before integrating it into their workloads and infrastructure. In their source pipeline, companies can identify issues before deploying changes. This is crucial because customers prefer resolving any problems or misconfigurations before the deployment process. Software change security, including GSPM Cloud, is a key feature customers seek in their infrastructure.

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility

I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The UI is very good."

"The cooperative nature of SentinelOne has influenced our decision not to shift."

"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."

"I would definitely recommend this product to other members, vendors, or users, as it covers security posture management, auditing, documentation, and compliance management."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."

"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."

"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"My advice would be to go for it."

"Aqua Security allowed us to gain visibility into the vulnerabilities that were present in the container images, that were being rolled out, the amount of risk that we were introducing to the platform, and provided us a look into the container environment by introducing access control mechanisms. In addition, when it came to runtime-level policies, we could restrict container access to resources in our environment, such as network-level or other application-level access."

"Their sandboxing service is also really good."

"The most valuable feature is the security."

"We mainly used Aqua Security for container-related Kubernetes security in the CI/CD pipelines to secure the runtime of the Kubernetes clusters."

"The most valuable feature is the on-demand patching, as there are times when vulnerabilities don't have available fixes, and Aqua Security allows it to pass the vulnerability in real-time while the fix is being developed."

"The container security element of this product has been very valuable to our organization."

"The most helpful feature of Aqua Security is Drift Prevention, which is a feature that allows images to be immutable. In addition, one of the main reasons we went with Aqua Security is because it provides strong protection when it comes to runtime security."

More Aqua Cloud Security Platform pros

"The solution is very user-friendly."

"Wiz distinguished itself immediately in the PoC, surfacing important issues that were entirely missed by both the products we were already using and other CNAPP's that we tested."

"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."

"Wiz is a very powerful product technologically."

"Wiz can accomplish this and easily provide the total inventory in the cloud, which is crucial when managing large cloud databases or environments such as AWS, Azure, or Google environments, where it's difficult to have one view for all cloud components."

"The tool is very powerful in nature."

"A valuable feature is that Wiz helps in identifying vulnerabilities."

"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."

More Wiz pros

Cons

"When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update."

"Sometimes the Storyline ID is a bit wacky."

"Scanning capabilities should be added for the dark web."

"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."

"In addition to the console alerts, I would like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to also send email notifications."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."

"Singularity Cloud Security currently lacks a break-glass account function, which is a critical component for implementing Single Sign-On as it allows for regaining access in emergencies."

"We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."

"They want to release improvements to their product to work with other servers because now there are more focused on the Kubernetes environment. They need to improve the normal servers. I would like to have more options."

"Sometimes I got stressed with the UI."

"They want to release improvements to their product to work with other servers because now they are more focused on the Kubernetes environment."

"Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting. It provides all the open issues, but no actionable solution is provided."

"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."

"It's a bit hard to use the user roles. That was a bit confusing."

More Aqua Cloud Security Platform cons

"Wiz is agentless, which is a plus, but the runtime and real-time detection could be limited, as it is not its strength."

"There is room for improvement in Wiz, particularly in operator management, as general operators may lack the necessary knowledge, requiring an easier-to-understand tool."

"We are still analyzing its behavior as we are in the midst of the implementation."

"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."

"As the tool is a good fit for small and medium-sized businesses, the solution should focus on making the product suitable for large-scale businesses."

"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."

"I have seen some lagging or downtime a couple of times, but I am not sure why it happened."

"Two percent would be that the loading time is taking a bit longer while loading the graph, and while navigating to other links, that is also taking some time."

More Wiz cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"

"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."

"It was reasonable pricing for me."

"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."

"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"It comes at a reasonable cost."

"They were reasonable with their pricing. They were pretty down-to-earth about the way they pitched their product and the way they tried to close the deal. They were one of the rare companies that approached the whole valuation in a way that made sense for our company, for our needs, and for their own requirements as well... They will accommodate your needs if they are able to understand them and they're stated clearly."

"The pricing of this solution could be improved."

"Dealing with licensing costs isn't my responsibility, but I know that the licenses don't depend on the number of users, but instead are priced according to your workload."

"Aqua Security is not cheap, and it's not very expensive, such as Splunk, they are in the middle."

"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."

"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."

"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."

"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."

"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."

"I wish the pricing was more transparent."

"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
